PROGRESS WORK
Never have I ever designed a book, so I referred to some guides on designing book publications!
“Book covers are important because books, regardless of their form, need a face.They need some kind of visual representation, whether you’re going to be seeing them the size of a postage stamp on a computer screen or a smartphone, or sitting on a table, or on a shelf, or in a bookstore.” (Chip Kidd)

REFLECTION
During the 6 weeks of preparing this book, I have learned several things. firstly, I learned the entire process of designing a book from start to finish. this includes things like planning the outline, writing the first draft, proofreading, and cover design. in the future, I would like to extend my learning to include manufacturing and distributing my book as this would constitute a complete cycle of creating a book from start to finish. one thing I found challenging is the timeline given to complete the preparation of this book. however, every trial and tribulation in life is an opportunity to improve one's skills. I faced the challenge head-on and am proud to be able to complete the task within the time given. it has exceeded my expectations and am confident all who read this book will gain a clearer understanding of the nudge theory, how it works, and how they can use it positively in their daily lives. The biggest obstacle that stymied my progress was when I had to submit my work to Turnitin and the similarity result was returned at 20%. I was abhorred by the idea that I plagiarised the work of my peers and esteemed researchers. after all, I did use references from other trusted journal articles but they were abbreviated for clarity and due acknowledgment and references were given. fortunately, after reviewing the Turnitin results, it seems that the big majority of the similarity was from items such as the table of contents and common terms used in the discussion of nudge theory. ultimately, I am proud of the outcome of this journal article, and I am confident it is a reliable resource for anyone who wishes to use it for their research on nudge theory.
